I recall seeing a language floating around (a *long* time ago!) called 
E, and another called F.

IIRC, the language before C was called B, so it's quite possible that 
more than one person has come up with a "better than C" language and 
called it "D" or "E" or whatever... ;-)

The conspicuous thing is that both of those languages are backed be huge 
well-known corporations...
